"Threats stem from lack of statistics, over-harvesting" China Daily 2012-12-17 First Person | Daniel Winkler China Daily Editor's note: Daniel Winkler, a German ecologist, has researched caterpillar fungus and its economic effects on China for 15 years.

A study he conducted in 2005 with Losang Dradul [= Luorong Zhandui] of the China Tibetology Research Center motivated authorities in the Tibet Autonomous Region to introduce a licensing system for fungus harvesting and to keep track of the yearly output. [Not correctly reported: there were already licenses on county level in TAR and data was also collected, but aftersubmission of Luorong's report the first TAR-wide Cordyceps regulation was passed and a conference convened to improve management.] Over-harvesting and poor statistical tracking of caterpillar fungus are major challenges for the sustainable management of the medicinal resource. If these restrictions are to work, the key is education. Standardized Medicinal Mushroom Article, NAMMEX, North American Medicinal Mushroom Extracts, Medicinal Mushrooms and Extracts.

NAMA: Medicinal Mushrooms. There are an estimated 1.4 million fungi on the planet, with about 140,000 identified to name. Of these, roughly 400 mushrooms have been found to contain compounds that show medicinal activity. These include anti-oxidants, hypotensives, hypocholesterolemics, liver protectants, anti-fibrotics, as well as anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-viral and anti-microbial properties. Other medicinal properties derived from fungi include immune suppressants used in organ transplants and as adjuncts to cancer chemotherapy and radiation. That does not mean all mushrooms with potential medicinal activity have undergone human clinical trials. NAMA’s Medicinal Mushroom Committee will begin to post studies over the next while, on some well-known and lesser known species.

To make it clear to everyone, four different categories will be used to define the depth and breadth of study. Traditional Use of Mushrooms The first category is traditional use of mushrooms in various cultures. In Vitro Studies.
